In January 2015 the Peruvian teenage photographers set out on an unforgettable photography trip into the Peruvian Andes. Accompanied by 4 foreign photography travelers and 2 volunteer photography trainers the group of 12 climbed up to 4.000 meters above sea level before descending again in the inter-Andean valley around Huamachuco, Peru. This proved to be the perfect base camp for excursions to nearby high altitude lakes, thermal hot springs, hikes to authentic Andean villages and pre-Inca ruins. The trip was the perfect mix between discovering off-the-beaten-track destinations, working hard on pictures for new FairMail cards and a lot of fun and laughter together. Check out the video we made of the trip to see for yourself:

This movie was made by the FairMail Peru team during a video workshop conducted by volunteer photography trainer Charlie to provide something different then the regular photography classes for FairMail's fair trade greeting cards.
